Notes from our Igluski Experts

"A cosy, unpretentious chalet furnished with alpine wood panelling. From the entrance to the chalet complex, you are a 250m walk to a button lift, which takes you up to the main lift base for Les Arcs 2000. The L’Ours Blanc is an ideal option for those wanting catered accommodation in a resort that suits all tastes. As one if the highest ski resorts in the Alps, snow is guaranteed. There is challenging skiing and boarding, on and off-piste, from the top of the Aiguille Rouge above Les Arcs 2000 along the Glacier du Veret. Intermediates will love the hundreds of kilometres of cruising blues and reds. "

Meals - Chalet L'Ours, Arc 2000

We set very high standards for our cuisine, and train our staff extensively before the season starts, to ensure that you will thoroughly enjoy every meal on your own holiday with us. We also take our Health and Safety responsibilities extremely seriously, so all our chalet and Chalet Hotel staff during the pre-season training course are trained to the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health’s Level 2 in Food Safety*. For six days of the week our staff prepare all your meals, as described below.

Breakfast

A good breakfast is essential on a ski holiday, so we provide both a cooked breakfast including your choice of bacon, eggs, sausages and beans, as well as a continental selection with a choice of cereals or porridge, fruit juices, plentiful tea, coffee and bread (and croissants in France), cold meats, cheese and preserves, which is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. On our staff’s one day off a week, only the continental breakfast will be provided.

Afternoon Tea

The traditional ‘welcome home’ after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff’s one day off per week. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of freshly home-baked cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until dinner is ready. As an added benefit for guests in our Chalet Hotels, our chefs prepare a selection of cakes for afternoon tea.

Children’s High Tea

In Chalets and Chalet Hotels with family guests, High Tea provides children under 13 years with a healthy menu, tailored more towards children’s tastes and puréed food is available for infants on request. High Tea is at 5.30pm, and children do not join the main adult-only dinner.

Dinner in Chalets

A tasty and innovative, freshly cooked dinner will be prepared for you six nights per week by your Chalet Host – or by an experienced and professional chef in our larger chalets – and served with a choice of wines. Our four-course adult-only chalet dinners start with canapés and an apéritif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert, and completed by coffee with chocolates to round off your evening. Your choice of complimentary quality wines is unlimited during the meal service, and freshly chilled water is also of course always available.

Chalet L'Ours Blanc Reviews

This is a comfortable chalet and we had a reasonable sized room with en-suite and shared balcony.
One down side was that the shower head could not be fixed to the wall so whilst you could have a bath, it was difficult to have a shower if that's what you wanted. The hot water could run out in the evening. Not sure if this is linked to everyone having baths rather than showers.
The food was very good. The breakfast was excellent. The afternoon tea was good but only tea and cake - no bread and jam. The dinner was very good as well. Canapes before dinner and chocolates after dinner were nice touches. Shame they did not purchase the bread direct from the local baker rather than buying the variety that is half cooked and you heat up in the oven.
On the first day the lounge was cold but the rep addressed this very quickly by bringing in extra electric heaters. Very good service.
The Les Arcs resort does not have extensive skiing if you are a competent skier but you can buy the lift pass that includes La Plagne and travel across on the linking cable car.
It took the resort quite a while to get the lifts open that link 2000 to 1600 and 1800 on the first couple of mornings which restricted the available skiing. Not sure if this is typical after a snowfall or whether there was a particular problem.
